The Next Best Thing - Free Novel Giveaway


Since the beginning of this blog, I had listed this book on this blog to be given away. It's been years now and there hasn't been any taker.  My local library already had several copies of this book so I don't want to give it to the library to take up its valuable real estate.  Today, I donated this book to the free little library on the curbside.  Now my bookshelf has one book less.

My Review On This Book:

A lot of my friends like this book. They are the ones who recommended this book to me. But this book isn't my cup of tea.  I didn't relate to the heroine Ruth and I have no interest in her love life either.  None of her boyfriends were likable and they failed to impress me. I found the sex scenes in this book stupid and totally not romantic.  The only likable characters in this fiction were Ruth's grandma and her boyfriend whom she eventually married in the story. The backdrop of this fiction was Los Angeles but reading it didn't make me particularly want to visit Los Angeles.  It just didn't make me feel curious about the place to even visit.

P.S. I'm now giving a bunch of magazines and books that are like new in condition, to make space in my cluttered bookshelf.  Feel free to click here to check them out before you head to the bookstore to spend money to buy any of them.

This is the first book that I checked out from the library in 2021! Happy reading for the New Year, everybody!! Call me shallow but  I like this book more than the other book that I have been trying to finish reading since last year.  Supper Menu inspired by pg. 23 of this book (The meal that Laura made for Gabe on their first meeting): BLT Sandwich Clam Chowder Milk Coffee Laura seemed to also enjoy hot chocolate .  So I often made one when I have time to sit down to continue my reading of this book.
